The radio data of supernova remnant N63A was observed with the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) on May 23, 1991. The radio light is brightest in the central region of the remnant, which appears as a triangular-shaped "hole" in the X-ray data. The field of view is the same as the Chandra image. Scale:

Tropical Cyclone Larry formed off the northeastern coast of Australia on March 18, 2006. The cyclone gained power rapidly and came ashore on Queensland’s eastern coastline, where it hammered beaches with heavy surf, tore roofs off buildings, and perhaps most destructively, flattened trees in banana plantations over a wide area. The reported early estimates that as much as 90 percent of the Australian banana crop may have been lost in this single storm...
